3 out of 5 stars Wha happened?.......2007-01-28

I enjoyed the first "Hush" graphic novel, and I was looking forward to "Hush Returns". All in all, it was pretty good, but I have no idea what happened toward the end. I don't read comics regularly, so I'm not up on the events of War Games or whatever, and there was really no conclusion to the story that I had been reading.

1 out of 5 stars Not a good Representation of Batman's World.......2007-01-08

Although I loved that the story continued, the writer of this "Hush Returns" doesn't fit in Gotham. He tried to make Joker sane, Ridler normal and worst of all Batman Scared! Jeph Loeb is the best Batman Writer out there and other's who are suppose to follow his story lines should at least try to write like him.

1 out of 5 stars Absolute Trash!.......2006-10-02

The final storyline in a string of bad stories from the now cancelled and hopefully forgotten Batman: Gotham Knights monthly series.
Leiberman commits the crime of meddling with the classic "Killing Joke" to present a confusing, convaluted and outright bad sequel to the bestselling Hush by Jim Lee and Jeff Loeb . The revisions in this story imply that Alan Moore's masterful Killing Joke is erased from continuity to make way for this trash. Add the fact that DC is blatently using Hush in this story as a way to cash in on the superior effort by Lee and Loeb's original, to boost the sagging sales on what had become one of DC's worst monthly books, and the whole afair just leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.

The artwork by Al Barrineuvo is also nothing special. It is underdone and one can tell he is just starting out in the bussiness and has difficulty illustating the characters consistantly from panel to Panel. The coloring is also muddy and dull.
Leiberman is a better writer than what is presented here, and hopefully he will move on to better projects (that don't involve Batman).

1 out of 5 stars WTF!?.......2006-08-10

I really hate to give a Batman title such a bad review, but this one deserves it. This book was fair with a few high points, until the last chapter. WHAT HAPPENED!? Lieberman, I was with you until then.

Here's the story: Hush is after Riddler for the events of "Hush", Riddler hires Joker under the promise of revealing who killed Joker's wife in "The Killing Joke", Joker lays a pride obliterating b***h-slap on Hush, Hush hires the hero-killer Prometheus (see: JLA vol.4 "Strength in Numbers") to go after Riddler and Joker (to which, I actually said aloud "Oh, Damn " when I saw that) but Hush then ends up having to save Prometheus's life after he's nearly killed by Green Arrow. At this point, things are going downhill. Then to add insult to injury, the story goes from bad to worse as everything you read in the previous 100+ pages of this book is thrown out the window and it becomes a tie-in to the now seemingly a little over-killed Infinite Crisis. Huh!? What!? The story literally changes mid-stream without warning or any sort of resolution. That is just bad story telling and is completely unacceptable from a Batman title. Even the characters were blasé. Joker is played up as a crime-boss with a mansion and wise-guy brutes; he's not a gangster, he's a maniac. As for Prometheus, who nearly took down the entire JLA at one time, for him to get bested by Green Arrow is off the mark and out of character. I do understand and see the need in having to tie the Batman stories and characters into the "big crossover event", but COME ON, at least transition it! It was going alright until then, and even then it was mediocre at best. The art was pretty good, but not even that could have saved this story. Joel Schumacher could have made a more gripping Batman story.

Thank god I checked this out from the library and not bought this, so all I ended up wasting was my time. I want the last hour of my life back!

5 out of 5 stars "CUT! PRINT!" It's a Classic. The Best Dry Sherry Wouldn't EVEN Enter the Race........2007-03-18

Through each new offering in this series, Carolyn Hart's word-smithing skills have been reducing down into an increasingly potent balsamic brew, and this one has arrived at sheer literary sensation polished to a sheen of luxury literature. HONEYMOON WITH MURDER, # 4 in Hart's DEATH ON DEMAND series, opened on a chilling mood driving a fast pace, as befits the classic murder mystery genre. After a thorough reader capture had been achieved, the pace slowed and the style warmed into Annie and Max's wedding, precisely when I was ready for that contrast.

Due to Circuit Solicitor Posey's bungling, posturing incompetence over-simplifying a complex murder scene, a citizen command camp was established, adding a high-aroma spice of farcical fun to the plot, with a huge, carnival-like collection of locals volunteering to join in finding Ingrid, Annie's employee at Death on Demand (her Broward's Rock bookstore). Where was Ingrid and why had she disappeared? That situation was tied to a murder, of course, which had occurred in Ingrid's cabin in Nightingale Courts.

Within this menagerie of activity, the relationship between Annie and Max continued to spark with feisty warmth and subtle hot spots, and some of the characters with potential to go sour were surged in heroic appeal, including Laurel and Henny. To me it's particularly endearing that Hart gradually redeems characters with which Annie clashes (grandly expressing heated irritation).

A few dark characters (Jesse Penrick and Duane Webb among them), some of whom were redeemed, others of whom were developed through-and-through with yummy bitters, enhanced the complexity of isolating the killer, with all points arranged within elaborate convolutions.

The denouement disclosure scene featured Annie in her glory as it rolled out with stunningly riveting intensity. I read through the scene nonstop, comprehending and remembering all the salient details due to the sequential logic and mesmerizing clarity of Annie's presentation of the resolutions. This surprised me somewhat, because often in past reads, I've taken the closing details in a classic mystery in a few small doses, as I'm horrible with memory of facts and timetables. Sometimes I notice, to my chagrin, that I've read the "who done it" explanation and promptly forgotten who it was and why, as I read rapidly through the information. I rarely make much effort to stoke up my cerebrum to guess ahead of time who did what to whom. So why do I read mysteries? Do I have a clue?

Returning to note the appeals of HONEYMOON (appeals I remember), the campsite setting warmed me into the story, along with the entertainment factor in the requisite division of "Men's" and "Women's" intimate needs areas, with the separated territories taking hold of Annie and Max and providing the perfect ironic foil to the "after the wedding" expectations of the couple and the reader. With those divisions remaining stable throughout the plot, the simplicity of the few paragraphs of the final scene in which the honeymoon was set to "begin" perfected an exquisite elegance of understatement.

I'll conclude by giving my opinion that Jill Churchill's Jane Jeffry series is not, as has often been claimed, Agatha Christie's modern day, USA, namesake counterpart to Miss. Marple. Carolyn Hart's Death on Demand series is. Though this is meant as a compliment to Mrs. Hart, it is not meant as an insult to Churchill.

Churchill's Jane Jeffry series has something I crave, which I hadn't found in a classic mystery series, not even in the best of the best. I haven't quite pinpointed that something I seek, but it has something to do with the saying, "One man's (reader's) trash is another man's treasure."

That taste concept is on the tip of my tongue. Maybe I'll be able to isolate it in my review of Churchill's latest Jane & Shelley novel, THE ACCIDENTAL FLORIST (which I'm reading now, saying "yum" to the tidbits of author's life details). That # 16 in series came out of the chute with a few customer reviews expressing disappointment in the low profile of the mystery angle. What those readers seemed to feel was lacking in this book, its not having what classic mystery fans demand, gave me a clue to understanding what I craved each time I renewed myself through Jane and Shelley's shenanigans, shopping sagas, and easy shamelessness in being who they were.

Prior to finishing this latest offering from Churchill, I believe it will become one of my favorite novels in this "genre." In a sense, Carolyn Hart continues to perfect the classic cases and causes of the core of the cozy mystery genre, while Jill Churchill, probably by necessity of her unique brand of creativity, has evolved her talent in the direction of Jane Jeffry's character needs, and mine as a reader.

In my view, Hart and Churchill are each evolving their skills perfectly, in directions accorded by their creative souls; each will appeal to different reader needs. Bless them all. Bless each author's unique path. As readers we win, if we pick our mysteries with the tips of our tongues. Peace.

Please don't tell the bookstore owner why you're licking that book jacket!

When you buy from Amazon you're saved that compulsive embarrassment; savor the flavor in the privacy of your own home, after pulling the book out of its Amazon box.

2 out of 5 stars Not my favourite book in this series either.......2006-09-19

I found this book to be rambling and disjointed. There did not seem to be a continuing thread, and the characters were all over the place. Also I was hoping not to have to read about the Circuit Judge Posey again, since I did not like him in the last book. I am becoming a bit disillusioned with this series, so I'll try a couple more, and if the books don't get better I'll go onto something else.

3 out of 5 stars Unlikely premise.......2002-06-05

At long last Annie Laurance and Max Darling are married, in a ceremony which is a compromise between Max's mother Laurel's "far-out" ideas and Annie's desire for a simple, dignified ceremony. That all rings true, but what happens next does not. A murder is committed and a likely suspect disappears and suddenly the inhabitants of the island are enticed into a city of tents, divided up into men's and women's quarters from which they are to launch a search for a missing woman. It is difficult to imagine that such a thing would happen (why can't they search during the day and stay in their own homes at night?) and even more difficult to believe that a newly-married couple would fall for such a scheme. Max's mother Laurel provides some comic relief in the book, but her occult-loving friend Ophelia is a just a bit over the top. Let's come back down to earth, Mrs. Hart, and return to the formula which made you successful, the Agatha Christie-like mystery solved by the deductive reasoning of the heroine. Annie's solution to the case comes as almost a minor event compared to the other things which are going on in the book.

3 out of 5 stars One wedding, one murder, one missing and one abduction.......2001-09-25

This is the fourth book in Carolyn Hart's "Death on Demand" series. As with the other books in the series, it's full of references to fictional sluethes (all pre-1988 but still fun for mystery fans). Annie and Max finally get married. Before they can honeymoon, Annie's assistant Ingrid is abducted and a dead man is found in her house. The resulting search is so far fetched as to be a farce in many ways.

This isn't one of Hart's best books. My primary peeve is that she forshadows the murderer early and often. Also, for a book with the word "Honeymoon" in the title, there's very little romance. I'm also getting really tired of the character of Posey. Annie deserves a more worthy adversary.

2 out of 5 stars Not her best.......2001-06-27

I normally love the Death on Demand series. But I didn't really like this book. I wanted to like it. But it didn't hold my interest. I have to admit I skimmed parts and read the end.

                  5 out of 5 stars A fun romp.......2005-09-05

                  When punk rocker Seeth rescues someone from arrest at the local bowling alley, it all seems like a harmless lark. But, when the cops turn out to be murderous aliens, Seeth and the bookworm Kerwin soon find themselves running for their lives. Accidentally picking up airhead style-queen Miranda, they set off for the stars on the adventure of a lifetime!

                  This is quite a fun little book. Shift your brain into neutral and suspend your disbelief as you will quickly find a universe filled with extremely odd creatures doing extremely odd things, while the situation becomes odder and odder. I mean, this is not Isaac Asimov teaching a lesson, instead this book is a fun romp through all sorts of strange adventures. By the way, did you realize that the most important thing in the universe is shopping? Well, get this book and learn more!

                  ...all three human characters. They do not grow. They remain petty, impudent little pests and I found myself wondering why the other races tolerated the human species if this was all the better that they were going to meet!

                  Seriously, the actual sci-fi was top-notch. There were a multitude of worlds and species that were well-done. But, it was marred by the inclusion of a punk rocker, a geek and a ditzy blond who continued to bicker, and sometimes actually fistfight with one another, no matter the situation. I wish he'd haven given that aspect of the story a rest.

                  5 out of 5 stars Fun sci-fi.......2004-11-03

                  The book is about three misfit Earthlings that unwittingly get caught up in a chase around the universe to obtain a very mysterious object.

                  This book is a wild ride and its actually funny! It has great characters and a story that gets bigger and more intriguing with every page. It is one of a handful of books I've read more than once. Don't let the cartoonish cover scare you away... though the book is quite silly, it is actually very thought-provoking and will open your eyes to the lighter side of contemplating the universe and our place within it... something we all really need a bit of. Great for kids or adults.

                  5 out of 5 stars So fun & funny I had to find it again!.......2001-10-14

                  My best friend gave me this book years ago and I loved it so much I wore it out! I lost it recently and had to get a new copy. You will enjoy this hilarious romp through the universe. It was everything I'd want in a science fiction novel!

                  5 out of 5 stars Please make this into a movie!.......2001-06-29

                  Finally we have reached the time when this can be brought to the big screen. Before this would have made a campy movie. but since the world of CGI has developed this would make an awesome sci-fi movie. This book is imaginative and funny.

                                    An essential and comprehensive guide to acne for women of all ages

                                    Acne is no longer just a teenage affliction. In fact, dermatologists often refer to it as a woman's disease, and drugstore shelves are filled with acne products specifically geared toward adult women. But how do you choose from the overwhelming selection of treatments? Which products are appropriate to use as you grow older, become pregnant, or enter menopause? How can you work with a dermatologist to get the most out of prescription acne medications?

                                    Lydia Preston answers all of these questions and more, with up-to-date information drawn from her years of reporting on dermatology, as well as her own long personal experience with acne. In Breaking Out, she shares the wisdom of dozens of doctors and scientists who have devoted their careers to studying and treating acne, including:

                                    No one has to live with acne or its consequences. Breaking Out is an invaluable guide to understanding and combating acne that women of all ages can turn to with confidence.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Anyone Needing Acne Knowledge!.......2007-02-08

                                    My daughter has moderate to severe acne and I have been struggling to understand. This book has been a Godsend. It has filled in all the blanks and given me all the information I need to know. The best thing? It is all in one place and easy to read. I finally understand exactly what her prescriptions are and exactly what they do...This book is a must read!

                                    5 out of 5 stars A must-read for acne sufferers.......2006-11-27

                                    As woman in my mid-thirities, I've suffered from adult-onset acne for the last 15 years. With the help of my dermatologist, I've run the gammut of treatments from her office, from birth control pills to Acccutane. But still, I have acne. I finally quit going a few months ago to sort out what I wanted to do and to educate myself better. One trip to my library found this gem, "Breaking Out". It is easy to read, no nonsense, and thorough. More importantly, the author doesn't have an agenda to sell me products. I read the book quickly, and feel educated and empowered to know exactly the course I want to take with my skin and my body now.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource.......2006-10-20

                                    After years of dealing with my acne issues, both on my own and with a dermatologist's arsenal of treatment options, I'd still found myself frustrated by my persistant skin problems. This book did a fantastic job of explaning how and why each type of medication/treatment works so now I finally understand the best way for me to utilize drugstore and prescription treatments.

                                    After less than a month of following the author's advice, my skin is already clearer than I can remember it being, basically since puberty! I can't stress enough the value of her explanations of HOW medications like benzoyl peroxide work, so that you can understand how you need to use them for them to be effective.

                                    Definitely worth the money!!

                                    5 out of 5 stars Everything I've always wanted to know about acne........2006-09-05

                                    Breaking Out is the book I've always wanted to read.
                                    The author suffered from acne several years and therefore she understands better how we feel.
                                    Everything you need to know about acne you'll find in this book.
                                    As a journalist she interviewed the best specialists from coast to coast.
                                    That said she doesn't try to impose, what a doctor would, her own view point towards acne treatment.
                                    This way you feel free to pick whathever treatment works best for you. And believe me, she goes through every single one there is.
                                    Although I have a dermarologist, this book helped me out as far as giving me the tools to better explain my doctor what kind of treatment I wanted.
                                    Knowledge is power especially when it comes to acne and I am much more confident towards my acne treatment now.
                                    If you suffer from acne, this book is a must read.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A complete and well-researched guide to all things ACNE!.......2006-01-24

                                    (As with anything you read or buy, it is wise to take the information provided with a grain of salt. Be sure to cross-reference facts and compare opinions with known professionals and experts in the field in question to be sure what you are getting is indeed accurate.)

                                    I've been coping with acne for nearly all my life and it has certainly been a source of major aggrivation for me. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons why my struggle continues is due to a lack of information and understanding about acne. After some basic searching, I came across this book. "Breaking Out" is a clearly organized and well-put-together book that conatains a wealth of information about acne causes and treatment options. Author Lydia Preston covers all the bases including the different categories of acne to over-the-counter treatments and prescription drug options to dealing with scarring and other acne-related skin conditions. Preston collaborates with several leading dermatologists to provide detailed information on prescription acne medications as well as different forms of skin therapy used in the treatment and prevention of acne.

                                    This book is definitely geared towards the adult female acne sufferer but also contains relevant information pertaining to the treatment of acne in teens and children. Overall, an excellent supplement to any acne treatment and a thorough source of information presented in easy-to-decipher terms.

                                    Preston seeks to inform the reader about treatment options and takes great care to emphasize that there is no one acne treatment that works for everyone. If you're frustrated with your current treatment regimen or want to find out more about the ins and outs of acne then definitely check out this book!

                                    *Also includes great list of resources and several helpful appendices.
